Annexations increase traffic in and around Town borders. Prior to any annexation, a transportation study identifies the necessary road improvements to handle the increase in traffic. The annexation and zoning processes also include a Development Agreement, and that agreement decides how the development team of annexed property will pay for the necessary road improvements.

No. We currently have more than 18,000 existing homes in Castle Rock, and more than 50,000 entitled residential lots that can be built in Castle Rock. Residential and associated commercial and industrial growth is likely to occur with or without annexation.

Castle Rock Water has a long-term water plan in place that accounts for existing and future Council-approved developments. Properties that annex into the Town must also convey all existing ground water rights or pay cash in-lieu to the Town to ensure the appropriate amount of water is available.
